Did Todd just know or did his PO tell him to add telemetry tool number 24 while he was protesting and begged to be allowed to migrate to a newer rendering library but got shot down promptly because "KPI line must go up"? :)

I just finished the 2nd book of the Stormlight Chronicles by Brandon Sanderson. Sadly I have had aphantasia all my life and therefore I can not visually imagine things - I do have a very loud inner monologue though and can imagine the voice

Oh the ordering and lack of commas in my phrasing made it my point unclear. What I mean is: using a quantum computer enables simulating quantum systems that can otherwise not be simulated in a reasonable time (using a conventional computer)

I did not claim I quit it all, just the majority and said I was struggling with this topic. Not sure if you are trying to help or are just mean.

I agree with the “in everyday applications” qualifier. But there are plenty of applications that are research focused where having access to a proper quantum computer would be useful. As a Quantum Circuit fundamentally models a Unitary tran

On a personal level I have become more anxious and it has become more difficult to deal with my tendency to procrastinate the more screen time I have and the more I am exposed to social media. I have in essence deleted the vast majority of

I use it heavily for form validation on the client and the server and it plays very well drizzle in my opinion. In the past I also used it a bunch for validating responses from a product API as it was not always guaranteed that the data had

Sometimes I feel the same but then I sit in a refinement meeting and have to handhold the stakeholders through the process of finding out what they actually want, what they don't want, which trade offs they find acceptable and which th

I appreciate the article from a technical perspective. Is there anyone here who has used it in production regardless of the criticism and has some perspective to share on where it actually falls flat or situations where performance degrades

Not a US citizen. From the outside it looks like the US administration simply does not care about advancing science and technology or care for their citizens or their future very much. It looks like it cares about furthering wealth and infl

I am from Hamburg and I live about 6 minutes from the Stadtpark by foot. I walk my dog there pretty much every day and I am very grateful to live so close by. I spent two years living in Tokyo and although Tokyo also has its fair share of p

I agree. I don't find the US competitors trustworthy either. I think open source is the way here.

I agree with the premise but have the feeling that it’s less about the money. People here in Germany use WhatsApp and Instagram and Gmail and MS Office and Windows not because there are no alternatives but because they either don’t know or

My intuition is that this is not necessarily true, but probably often true in practice but perhaps someone more educated on the matter can speak on that. It must also depend on the expensiveness of the regulation in question. Since in tons

Yup! That’s true and I wish it was different! In Germany there are quite a few schools which hand out locked down iPads to their students, with the expectation that they are used for school purposes and not for private usage or schools that

I agree that that is probably the lowest stake solution. Alternatively there are solutions like the safe exam browser which locks down the device quite well during the exam session. —- Disclosure: I run a small start up which offers teacher

Sounds like you love unregulated free capitalism but correct me if I am wrong. If that’s the case I wonder if you would see things differently if said system strongly disadvantaged you and your loved ones in other areas (health care, housin

I have to agree here but I would like to add: every single web app I have ever had to build or was part of building was heavily biased and towards adding more features and exorbitant amounts of tracking that me or the other engineers had to

I agree. I just argue that you would still want your app to handle those with as little data loss as possible and in a way that's understandable to the user.

Correct but the feedback is usually more immediate. Save a change to your issue and it fails - You will get an error toast and probably stay on the form. In the local first world you might have navigated away already and created 3 more issu

I love using linear and where applicable I try to use optimistic updates in the applications I build too and I think it's a good article that touches on the most important aspects of a performant web app of that caliber. One thing I wo

I bought into the end 2 end typesafety + everything is written in TypeScript hype and it did allow us to build a large portion of our application fairly quickly. Again, it's the 90% that work great this way and I don't think other

For the past two years I have worked on a SaaS platform for the education space that we are about to launch (small 2 person start up) - it involves a lot of highly dynamic forms and fairly complex client side state and tons of rather comple

I agree with the sentiment but I wonder if a sufficiently large amount of sufficiently sophisticated benchmarks existed then I would be surprised if a model would only memorize those benchmarks while showing terrible real world performance.

"entirely possible" is a bit of a stretch. You can install some hacky WM and sketchybar but system settings, workspace three finger scroll speed, the finder app, window chrome, login screen etc are not something that can easily be

Is there a good reason browsers could and or should not support ts out of the box? I think even node does to some extend. Anyway another thing that kept bugging me when reading this is that web apps and development and performance constrain

This was interesting. Had a 5 minute chat with the outsider from the dishonored series. Just a one sentence prompt and its phrasing was at least 60% there, but less cold and nicer in a sense than the video game counterpart. Still an interes
